Welcome to TowerGeeks. This is an online community for those actively developing with the Tower System, a modular development platform that supports evaluation and design using many of our microcontrollers, microprocessors and technologies.

To obtain the best community support, please first consider if your post is more suited for a community that supports the controller that is driving your Tower System.(Is it a Kinetis microcontroller? A Vybrid controller? Are you using a Motor Control board with a Kinetis MCU board?) Accordingly, please enter your question in the related community rather than here on Tower Geeks. Forum posts in this space are monitored by our third party partners and our support team, but may be moved to a related community better suited for your question.

For all other Tower System related questions and third party Tower-compatible board support, stay on Tower Geeks.

What is the Tower System?

Loading...

It's modular.You can design and develop embedded systems for many different kinds of applications.

There are many Tower System modules available.You'll find complete embedded development kits spanning architectures from 8-, 16-, 32-bit MCUs and MPUs. You can even try out the new 32-bit ARM devices with the Kinetis modules. You can also quickly and easily add features and functionality to your embedded design with peripheral modules that feature sensors, analog to digital converters, Wi-Fi, graphical LCD, motor control, and more!

It's all about open source!The Tower's open source approach means that you can even design your own modules!

So, what are you waiting for? Get your geek on!

Dear all, I have the TWR-MCF51CN-KIT on loan from our Australian distributor (and waiting for the delivery of the TWR-MCF51CN-KIT and TWR-MCF51MM). As the loan kit didn't have an installation DVD, I downloaded: Codewarrior 6.3 evaluation edition: CW_MCU_V6_3_EVAL.exe (458,013KB) Processor Expert v.3.09: …(Show moreShow less)

Here is tower template in Altium Design (V10) Format. Enjoy! FreescaleTowerTemplate.PcbLib FreescaleTowerTemplate.SchLib Original Attachment has been moved to: 39-FreescaleTowerTemplate.SchLib Original Attachment has been moved to: 37-FreescaleTowerTemplate.PcbLib

You guys might find this funny but am completely lost! A semester( 3months) of C and MASM wouldn't be enough to master programming main.c I have tried to follow the blink instruction to also get my board to blink leds but to no success can someone help .. in telling me what's wrong in the way i have written the codes ... i have watched all…(Show moreShow less)

This example shows how to use interrupts within CodeWarrior 10.1 on the Kinetis K40 tower board. Since there are no examples of how to do this yet on the Freescale website, I thought I would put this together for the rest of the world. The example will blink LEDs E1,E2 and E3 at different rates using a combination of a SysTick Interrupt, a…(Show moreShow less)

Hello, I wanted to port my existing application (MCF51JM128) using the CMX USB host stack to the tower using the MCF52259. As an intermediate step, I made the port to the M52259DEMOMCU board. I'm using Processor Expert for this, as it simplifies a lot of things. Although the application is not for the tower, I think it might be useful for others…(Show moreShow less)

Hello, I have finally ported my Processor Expert to MCU10.1 with all the components. Now it includes as well the USB bootloader as component :-). The archive contains 3 projects: one for the MCF51CN128, one for the TWR-LCD MCF51JM128 both as standalone and with bootloader enabled, and one project to build the USB bootloader. The archive contains…(Show moreShow less)

Hello There, I made a lbr file for the tower board to make it easier to add it to a schematic and easier to connect pins. I used John Mc's board as a reference. Original Attachment has been moved to: 141-Freescale_TWR.lbr

Here is the background: I was using the Kinetis K40 tower board with Codewarrior 10 and was trying to get the external crystal to drive the MCG unit. Here is the issue: The K40 errata e2448 says that I need to place a certain portion of my code in RAM to execute a certain portion of the clock setup code. There is an example that is on the…(Show moreShow less)
